With the increasing social, economic and political drive to Prevent, [[Reuse]] and [[Recycle]] more waste, in line with the [[Waste Hierarchy]] and the [[Circular Economy]] the amount of [[Residual Waste]] is expected to decrease over time in the medium-long term<ref name="foo" />. The exact magnitude of this reduction and the [[Residual Waste]] continuing to need to be delivered to [[EfW]] has been debated at length by different commentators over the last few years. | With the increasing social, economic and political drive to Prevent, [[Reuse]] and [[Recycle]] more waste, in line with the [[Waste Hierarchy]] and the [[Circular Economy]] the amount of [[Residual Waste]] is expected to decrease over time in the medium-long term<ref name="foo" />.
